Imp Hollow

Imp Hollow is set in Athebes, an ancient land of jungles and savannah, where elves compete with jackal-headed humanoids on the steppes, where ape sages ponder secrets lost in the jungles ages ago, and humans are strange barbaric outsiders.

In the land of Athebes, in between the dusty crags of Claag Harragk and the fierce jungles of Djung, is the forest of Afyr. The "Wilder Folk" slipped into its deep shadows and thick hedges as the trolls, elves, and sliths came forward to shape the world of Elder. This part of the world is so wild that the old god Walking Jungle Lady and her "wilder-magick" avatars still roam here from time to time.

Afyr is also the home of outcasts from other societies of the land of Athebes, many of whom practice the Old Religion, considered a form of black magic in these modern times. The old forests of Afyr seem to look after them and actively persecute those that pursue them. These creatures, often being terribly misunderstood themselves, tend to welcome even creatures that others would deem "evil" as long as they don't overstay their welcomes.

It is in Afyr that our assembled group of heroes has heard about a place called Imp Hollow. In this hollow there is said to be a great treasure and the key to many ancient secrets of the world of Elder.

This adventure is written for the TAG Ruincrawl rules (available here for 99 cents) but, like any Trollhalla Friendly product, can be easily adapted for the games of Ken St. Andre.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
